Two coloured knitting with two Latvian braids. The pattern is irregular and changes in each round, the number in the last square of each row indicates the number of loops of the same color. Long bands (carried yarn) are formed only in a few places, which can be fixed in every third loop behind. Have the pattern color closer to you. Total instructions and links to explanatory videos are included.

I´m a huge nature enthusiast and feel everything is so wonderful that is created without our involvement. Northern lights and volcanic eruptions are among the most amazing spectacles that the forces of nature offer. Since the volcanic pattern was created, it was time for me to design a pattern, I tried to capture these extremely beautiful, colorful and diverse movements in the sky which are characteristic of Iceland. This was the first time I attempted to dye yarn and the pattern followed. I feel I have created the perfect colour combination for the northern lights pattern. Now I´m catching up on with my design work and colouring or colouring and design work .
